A while ago I had my sister over for a weekend of crafting. We made roses out of paper (with the tattered pinecone die by Tim Holtz). It took some time figuring out how to make it work, since Tim's toothpick trick didn't exactly work the way we wanted to, but eventually we found a way.

Een deel van deze bloemen hebben we gebruikt voor tags.
---We used some of the flowers for tags.

This is the tag my sister made. She had previously
experimented with painted doilies and wanted to use them on a tag. We
experimented with gold and brown paint. You can get a beautiful coppery effect if you paint a surface gold, add brown paint and then wipe the brown paint partially off.

I
liked the effect so much that I made a similar tag. I wanted my rose to have a coppery-effect as well, so I painted the die cut before assembly. This was easier than assembling and painting afterwards. My tag has Steampunk elements.
